Renovating in Stouffville: what to know

Neighbourhoods and homes

We work across the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: the older homes around Main Street and the village centre, the newer subdivisions that have grown up around them, and the countryside beyond, including Ballantrae, Musselman’s Lake, Vandorf and Bloomington. Village homes often need a kitchen opened up or a basement finished. Rural properties bring their own questions, such as a septic system, a well or a conservation-regulated area, and those are worth settling before any drawings are done.

Permits

  • Most construction and renovation work needs a building permit from the town. Work that generally does not includes adding insulation, re-roofing with lightweight material, replacing windows and doors without making the opening bigger, and wood decks that sit low to the ground. Exempt work still has to meet the Ontario Building Code. Applications go through the town’s Applications and Permit Portal or by email. Source: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: Building Permits
  • Interior alterations: replacing a load-bearing wall with a beam needs a permit. The application includes floor plans for every level and structural details, and a BCIN-qualified designer’s information form. Current fees are listed on the town’s page. Source: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: Alterations (residential)
  • Additions: adding onto an existing house needs a permit, with architectural and structural drawings. If the property is on a private septic system, the application may include an on-site sewage permit. Source: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: Residential Permits
  • Septic systems: installing, modifying or replacing a septic system needs a septic permit. Source: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: Septic Permits
  • Decks and porches: a deck or porch more than 600 mm (about 2 ft) above the ground needs a permit. A wooden deck lower than that does not, but it may still need other approvals, such as conservation authority clearance on flood-prone land. Source: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: Deck & Porch Permits
  • Second suites: adding a second suite inside an existing house needs a permit, and once the permit is approved the suite must be registered with the town. Source: Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville: Second Suite Permits
  • Heritage: the town has three heritage conservation districts in the village (West Main Street/Stouffville Junction, Church Street/Village Centre North and O’Brien Avenue/Village Centre South), plus individually designated properties. Changes to identified heritage features on a designated property need a heritage permit. Sources: Heritage Conservation Districts · Apply for a Heritage Permit
